1
Fry the Chicken
In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the marinated chicken pieces in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.
2
Combine Chicken and Sauce
Once all the chicken is fried, lower the heat and add the sauce mixture to the skillet. Bring it to a simmer and let it thicken for about 2-3 minutes. Add the fried chicken back into the skillet and toss to coat the chicken in the sauce.
3
Garnish and Serve
Transfer the General Tso's Chicken to a serving plate, sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped green onions. Serve hot with steamed rice or noodles.
